An anonymous reader writes "In 2012, EFF Pioneer Award winners are Hardware Hacker Andrew (bunnie) Huang, Anti-ACTA Activist and La Quadrature du Net cofounder Jérémie Zimmermann, and Groundbreaking Anonymity Group Tor. '"Every year, our Pioneer Awards celebrate those who have made a difference for digital freedom. We are extraordinarily proud of this year's winners and their unflagging dedication to protecting the rights of technology users around the world," said EFF Executive Director Shari Steele. "Whether it's your right to reverse engineer a game console, or to avoid the interference of overbroad IP enforcement, or to block websites or governments from tracking your every online move, these winners are working hard to protect our online freedom."'
The 21st edition of the annual EFF Pioneer Awards ceremony will take place September 20 in San Francisco."

Well-deserved for La Quadrature and Jérémie Zimmermann - they have indeed been instrumental in the defeat of ACTA by (1) providing full and up-to-date information and (2) all their efforts to 'rally the troops'.
